Weekend View – French Country Cottage

Welcome to the weekend view. This and that from the week that was- autumn and Christmas, grand dogs and our brand new grand baby.

Grand Baby Enzo

We are so excited to share that grand baby number 2 has arrived! My son Cullan and his wife Diem welcomed their first baby- Enzo who weighed in at 6 lbs 9 oz full of adorableness! He is an absolute doll baby! Momma and Enzo are both doing well and I have been soaking up all the newborn baby snuggles. We are all so in love with him! Hopefully will do a newborn photo shoot and be able to share some photos soon.

Grand Dog sitting

We had a couple of our grand dogs in the house while my son and his wife were at the hospital. Enzo was a little jaundiced so they had to stay a bit longer than anticipated so we were dog sitting for the week. Ivy was involved in all the photo shoots- including making this one even better. ( yes, Christmas is in the house already!)

In the Pool

My oldest son has a pool at his house- and he picked up this big pool float for Juliette to play with in the water. He said it was the last one at the store- and it was already blown up so he brought it home ready to go and plopped it into the pool. They have a beautiful view from their backyard and the swan floating by the edge of the pool made the photo that day.

Autumn Cozy Candle View

Coming your way tomorrow- a post all about cozy candlelight and autumn views.

This snap is from my brothers house in Calistoga when we were shooting a table setting for Inspired Gatherings. Autumn in the wine country is an absolute favorite. The autumn colors and vineyards are gorgeous.
